Puzzle Heros rpg - this is a turn based match 3 game with diagonals and a time limit to match as many tiles as you can, this powers up your colour coded heros and you use them to defeat/harvest food based enemies to stock your food stalls. Stalls make money, money levels up heros, etc.

It’s a ‘reskin’, albeit a very minorly changed one, of Match Quest, and the art/design is all really well done in an old school 8bit pixel style, with some really beautifully done layered scenery.

It gets a bit grindy and will take forever if you want to win every hero and level them all up to max, but as a casual game to dip into a few times a day to collect profits and loot old levels, and then spend twenty minutes or so playing levels, it’s very fun.

I also recommend Flappy Dragon. It’s a resin of the bird game, I think, idk I never played that one. The physics is fun and well thought out for each dragon and the dragons all have really nice designs.

Oh and it’s probably been mentioned a ton on this thread already but Simon Tatham’s Puzzles is a fantastic app full of puzzles that can be played offline.

I hope this is included in Alecto The Ninth.

(Edited because my tired ass wrote Nona originally.)

Yo Viv, you got any change? Coins are easier to aim, hurt more too. Then again, if I glue the cash to my sharp rocks… hmm I seem to only have sand in my pockets, I’m a terrible wizzzard.

Do you think he’s hit the glass yet?

I have a dexterity roll to make and some now ironic soon-to-be-corpse desecration to commence with.

I cast sharp rocks.

Make sure the musk primate is watching while we tape the ketamine to a frisbee and fling it off a cliff.

Ngl, that sounds exhausting to never have time to yourself.

Watch it alone at some point.

The lack of dialogue was one of the best things about Flow for me, after the cat, so much was ‘said’ without ever needing words and the acting of all the animals was captivatingly well done.

Seconding Young Frankenstein! It’s still one of the funniest films I’ve ever watched.

Flow - if you like cats and beautiful animation.

Dave Made A Maze - is a fun watch with good writing.

Death Of Stalin - will be funny to you if you like British comedy.

Prospect - interesting scifi with Pedro Pascal (who I mistook for Nathan Fillion till I looked the cast up, lmao)

Triangle - well done time travel fuckery

Arq - more time travel fuckery

Primer - yet more time travel fuckery

Edit: pretty sure the title of the post has changed, or I somehow just didn’t notice it fully before? Idk, none of the movies I’ve listed are ‘must watch’ they’re just fun watches. I don’t think any film is really a must watch.

Suicidal.

I’m just a very jaded freeze avoidant who’s met enough people and read enough history to see the patterns.

I know what happens when people think they are better than others and what they do when have power over those they see as being beneath them. You know it too. Everybody does, it’s the world around us and the world in our history books.

But yeah I am a misanthrope, you’re right on that front. I’m too tired to do much but occasionally rant online about how much we suck and how fucked the future is though, so I’m not some millitant moron with a quest, lol. Chronic fatigue and a disability that fucks with my ability to talk/interact with folk irl have basically taken care of that ever happening, not that I believe it would do anything but make me look stupid if I tried tho. And that’s not to mention all the trauma that’s left me so freeze state avoidant.

I don’t know how comforting you find learning about how fucked we are climate and resource wise, but if knowing this will all end soon is any sort of relief for you, read on because we’re rapidly running out of fresh water and arable land and current predictions suggest that by 2032, we’ll cross 450ppm or so of atmospheric c02.

Phytoplankton, particularly those with calcium carbonate shells like coccolithophores, are highly sensitive to ocean acidification caused by rising cO2 levels.

When atmospheric cO2 levels exceed 450-500 ppm, ocean pH decreases, making the water more acidic.

This process reduces the availability of carbonate ions, which are essential for these organisms to build and maintain their exoskeletons.

They produce 50 to 80% of the planets oxygen. And are a staple in the food system.

You are right, we are all mad here. I agree with you. Empathy and compassion is mocked and exploited, vegans are treated like a joke. Freedom fighters, activists for equality, climate and genocide protesters, etc, are treated like stupid and evil terrorists and enemies of the state.

Our species sucks and we fully deserve this climate apocalypse we’ve created.

We are predisposed to be cruel and greedy locusts, who build and support systems of inequality with undeservingly powerful leaders who only ever lust for war/more. This is the story of nearly every human civilisation we have history for. Those who strived for a better civilisation are destroyed by those who want conquest, money, power, a leg up with their gods, etc.

I hope beyond hope that we fully die out before any of us get off world in any meaningful way to propagate yet more obscenities. It’s stupid to think that there aren’t trillionaire funds currently working on this, I don’t think it was just a punchline in Don’t Look Up.

And I also hope that maybe one day, billions of years from now, when the earth has had time to heal from the damage we have caused, something better than us could evolve here.

We do the best we can to reduce harm and suffering.

Modern life is not vegan by nature, human infrastructure destroys animal habitats, human pollution is destroying the planet. Our species is responsible for the deaths of trillions of animals. Our existence is complicity.

Doing what I can to avoid consuming products of animal suffering is never going to be enough to counteract the majority of humans who revel in it. Especially as it’s them who’ve built/control/condone the broken systems this world is running on and will be ending due to.

Because of the comedic format it’s displayed in.

Rape ‘jokes’ shouldn’t be considered acceptable just because the teller/audience aren’t straight.

This will be included in Alecto The Ninth, mark my words.

Lmao, I really should have read your comments before writing mine.

How To Say Your Favourite Colour And Not Embarrass Yourself This is the funniest and most relatable rant I’ve come across in a while, it probably won’t hit as hard if you’re not a neurotic overthinker though.

Adventures In State Space This is an incredibly well edited video talking about a very interesting maths thing. You don’t have to know why/how the math thing works to enjoy the video. He has other good ones too like where he fucks with a Mandelbrot/Julia set.

Space Station Weird is a bunch of short animations set in the distant future on a very weird space station.

WatchDust is the main page for a channel with a curated selection of independently made short scifi films. Many are really good.

Soggy Rock Facts To Dazzle Your Enemies This is Sage The Bad Naturalist’s channel and she’s a very smart and interesting person who talks about science.

PTSD? Yeah, I have it.

I’ve not played the game. It seems like they covered this pretty accurately though if I picked up on the implication from your reference.
